Business Description
Vera Therapeutics is a California-based biotechnology company working to develop new medicines for patients living with immune system disorders and autoimmune kidney diseases. Its leading drug candidate, atacicept, targets two proteins that drive harmful immune responses and can be self-injected by patients at home, with ongoing studies focused on IgA nephropathy. The company is also advancing two additional treatments: MAU868, an antibody designed to fight BK virus infections, and VT-109, a next-generation molecule aimed at a broader range of autoimmune conditions. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Brisbane, California, Vera Therapeutics was previously known as Trucode Gene Repair before adopting its current name in 2020.
